What if Virgil formed as a gray/neutral side but Janus saw the little spider eyes forming under his regular ones how snarky and jumpy and standoffish he was and how he hissed just like Janus when anyone approached too quickly and was like "is anyone gonna adopt that" and didn't wait for an answer (because he knew if he did then Patton would appear with his hand up immediately)
I had the honour of working with @asoftervirge for this year's @sandersidesbigbang !!
I got to be the artist for her lovely fic Smile that you can read on ao3~☆
[ID] (Image depicts a human version of Janus and Virgil Sanders. Janus is dressed in his lawyer attire; while Virgil is wearing his canon stitched outfit.
The two are sitting in a dark room devoid of a background, illuminated by a warm light. Virgil is currently experiencing anxiety, grasping at his hoodie strings. His brows are furrowed in frustration as tears roll down his face. Janus is attempting to comfort Virgil; having an arm around his shoulder. He appears to be speaking softly.)
has the shortest attention span you have ever seen in your entire life, 90% of the time he has to be bribed to play a game longer than five to ten minutes. uno is the exception.
loves-uno, the idea of risk
hates-most other games, the reality of risk
logan-
into the most long, complicated, rule-and-insane-mechanic-heavy games you could possibly find. also anything trivia or random-knowledge-based. he and virgil make everyone play dnd. he is the dm and only does very elaborate homebrew stuff.
loves-trivial pursuit, everdell, that one stock market game that’s really confusing, matching games likes eye spot it, scrabble, mobius (math bananagrams)
hates-those games where you just roll dice and pass them between the players for five minutes
virgil-
either short games where you brutally destroy your opponents or long games where you brutally destroy your opponents, depending on his mood. also teams up with logan to make everyone play dnd.
loves-unstable unicorns, monopoly, uno
hates-any cooperative/working-together-as-a-team games
patton
big fan of games that let you be on teams or work with other players. loves games where you collect cards with characters on them but is usually bad at the actual game. really is just bad at most games, to be honest. he’s a good sport about it, though. (he likes to make jokes about how “your dad is getting too old for these games” and is immediately shut down by logan because “we’re literally all the same age, patton.”) he doesn’t mind long games but doesn’t do well with extremely complicated games. loves physical building/balance games, weirdly good at trivial pursuit.
loves-pokemon, any cooperative/working-together-as-a-team games, catan (he likes to build little houses with the blocks), bananagrams, jenga, suspend
hates-“now, hate is a strong word, but-” any games where players or characters “die”, uno (apologizes whenever he does literally anything to anyone)
janus-
obviously any game where you have to pretend/lie but also strategy-heavy games that require a lot of planning and thinking. likes slower paced games and takes forever on every single turn he has, no matter what game it is.
loves-mafia, bs, runes and regulations, solitaire (he and logan sometimes sit next to each other and play separate games of solitaire and race to finish theirs first. Janus always cheats.)
hates-wham (he hates the one hand only rule)
remus-
anything wildly inappropriate but also anything structured like apples to apples. give-me-a-prompt-and-i’ll-answer-it-in-a-weird-way games. has a longer attention span than roman but only if he’s interested in the game.
loves-cards against humanity, apples to apples, ransom notes, operation, trophies (he always manages to find words that only technically fit the prompt and you want to disqualify him but you can’t. very annoying.), the telephone game where you have to draw
hates-any game that you just play with a deck of cards (no gimmick and therefore boring)
